After grabbing two Western Michigan assistants, the Syracuse Orange obviously had some Broncos players in mind on the recruiting front. Enter Kendall Coleman, who was quick to follow Vinson Reynolds and Mike Hart to SU.

Player Breakdown:
Coleman is a converted tight end, so you know he's already got an advantage in the athleticism department -- also, we've been down this road before and it turned out pretty well for Ron Thompson and the Orange. He's got quality size and with some time in a college weight room, he'll be well positioned to contribute early in his career with SU. Since the Orange have a ton of needs along the line, we could even see him plugged in as a true freshman. But if not, he'll get a year under his belt to learn the system and contribute in 2017.
